Jacob Sharp Sentenced.

NEW YORK, July 15.-When Jacob
Sharp entered court for sentence Thursday
morning, he was so weak he had to be
supported. He was accompanied by his
wife and son-in-law. The attorney for
the defense said the trial had been all un-
fair one in several ways, and that the jury
had been preiudiced, and therefor he
moved for a new trial. The court denied
the motion, and sentenced him to four
years imprisonment and to pay q fine OF
5000. Judge Barrett in delivering the
sentence, said he had eve performed SO
DELEGATE a task in all his professional ca

many people pleading for mercy and
otherwise. but the court was not appointed
to be merciful any more than was dicta-
ted by the laws of Justice. With over one
million in his pocket, he clamors for mer-
ey without offering to pay back . penny

Alleged Cattle Frauds.

CHICAGO, July 1s.-Suit for 100000 has
been begun in the United States court by
the Swan Land & Ca tie Company of Ed
ingburgh, though their solicitors, Swift &
Campbell, against Alex. a. Swan and
Thomas Swan of Cheyenne, Charles E.
Anthony, of Peoria; Chas A. Wilson, of
Chattsworth, Ill, and several persons in
Chicago. In 1882 the Swan and Frank
Live Stock companies, the National Cat
tie Company. and the Swan, Frank and
Anthony Cattle companies, comprised of
the above named parties, were grazing
cattle over the ranges of Wyoming. These
corporations joiIed with james Wilson of
Edingburgh and sold out for $2.553,823 to
the Swan Land & Cattle Company, which
Wilson had worked up among Scottish
capitalists, among them being Lord Doug
las Gordon and Colin J.. Mckenzie. The
compliments say that instead Of S9,1s7
head of cattle as represented, there were
no more than 10000, and that in many
other respects were the inventories which
were shown them untrue. In making the
sale, the complaint says that Swan repre-
scented that the number Of calves from the
herd would equal 22,S26, while in fact
there were only 1900. Compliments ask
100000, which they say would only
about cover the loss they sustained, The
suit is a sequel to the failure of the firm

NECESSITY.
telegram was received at the War Department
this morning from General Terry. stating that the
Governor Of Colorado had requested General Crook
to assist the civil authorities In serving process
upon two Ute bucks who had been indicted by o
grand jury. General Terry asked for Instructions
to guide himself and General Crook In the matter
telegram was sent in reply, simply directing him
to hold troops In readiness to move at moments
notice In case OF necessity. The War Department
has received no Official Information OF the re-
ported engagement between Colorow and his fol-
lowers and the shertf's posse and the military
authorities do not feel authorized TO order troops
to assist the civil authorities In their attempt to
arrest the indicted Indians. Should the sherins
posse be defeated by the Indians Colorow will
doubtless take the war path and attack some set
tlement: In such an event General Crook who is
near at hand has full authority to take Immediate
action. 1t is thought at the War Department that
the accounts from the scene of trouble may have
been exaggerated as Is frequently the in that
sparsely settled country, and Will discredit infor-
nation that COlOrOw is on the war path until OFF,
ctally informed.
